The rapid growth in renewable energy in the UK has increased the need for flexible power to balance the electricity grid. Wärtsilä has worked closely with energy and services company Centrica to provide the changing market with flexible energy, helping tackle the issues created by intermittent renewables and supporting the transition to a low-carbon energy system.

Heavy dependence on fossil fuel imports, coupled with a growing climate crisis, puts islands around the globe in a very unique bind as it relates to energy security. Relying on oil, diesel and natural gas shipments has been a very expensive endeavor and traditionally the only option for these isolated communities.

Elering, the Estonian transmission system operator, is responsible for managing the Estonian electrical grid. A constant, real-time balance between supply and demand is an absolute must to keep the grid running and the power reaching customers without frequency deviations.
